[kɔ.riˈan.drũː]

From Ancient Greek κορίανδρον (koríandron), of uncertain origin. Sometimes said to be related to κόρις (kóris) ‘bedbug’ from the smell of the leaves and unripe seeds. Compare Ancient Greek κορίαννον (koríannon), κορίαμβλον (koríamblon), Mycenaean Greek 𐀒𐀪𐁀𐀅𐀙 (ko-ri-a2-da-na), 𐀒𐀪𐀊𐀅𐀙 (ko-ri-ja-da-na), 𐀒𐀪𐀊𐀈𐀜 (ko-ri-ja-do-no), 𐀒𐀪𐀍𐀅𐀙 (ko-ri-jo-da-na), and Akkadian 𒌑𒄷𒌷𒌝 (^úḫurium; ḫuriʾānu). Beekes supposes that the cluster -dn- implies a Pre-Greek word, and hypothesizes that [Term?] may have been dissimilated to [Term?].
